Can cheese balls really fit in with a healthy eating plan? How about a low carb one? Well, the answer is yes and no.

How particular are you about your “healthy” plan? Is there wiggle room? Are there absolutely no cans or jars in your kitchen? Do the words “cheese product” scare you? 🙂

A healthy, fully natural cheeseball that would be good for real food or low carb peeps is the old “cream cheese, shredded cheese, worcestershire sauce, green onions, and nuts” combo (or something similar).

Recipe Keys

Very Low Carb (VLC): This is very low carb by itself. Of course, as with most meats, cheeses, nut spreads, etc., the carb damage is based on what you serve it on or with. Follow the instructions in the forward for crisping your own “homemade crackers,” and you can have a hearty cheeseball and cracker snack for under five carbs or so!

Store-Bought-Stella (SBS): Cheese balls made with canned/jarred cheese are super simple—but taste like you went all out!

Homemade Hannah (HH): Make this along with homemade crackers—and you are Queen Homemade Hannah!

Freezer Cooking (FC): I do not freeze cheese balls. The texture of cream cheese changes in the freezer, so even when I freeze cream cheese, I prefer to use it in a cooked recipe rather than a fresh one, like a cheese ball or spread. This does keep for week in the refrigerator though.
